Sarah Palin's brother pitches new political party

'I'd simply call it, the American Party'

(GO.BLOOMBERG) — There’s a new voice in the Palin family making the call for political upheaval, with Sarah’s brother — Chuck Heath Jr. — calling for “the disgruntled citizens of the United States… Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians… persons of every race, religion, economic status, and whoever else is interested, join together and form a new party.”

He adds, in a posting on his Facebook page: “I’d simply call it, the American Party. ”

Heath — who on a personal website identifies himself as “father, teacher, author” and “Alaskan gold miner” — may want to work on that name. The multitude of mostly little noted third-party presidential candidates in last November’s vote included Iowan Tom Hoefling, running under the America’s Party banner.
